Crypto boom in the "buyback" trend: 40 million USD tokens are accumulated every week
A new trend is spreading in the crypto world: DeFi projects spending tens of millions of USD each week to buy back tokens – similar to how publicly listed companies buy back shares.
📌 Buyback scale: Nearly 40 million USD/week, with Hyperliquid leading with 24 million USD $HYPE thanks to derivative revenue, followed by pump.fun with over 10 million USD PUMP from a 1% transaction fee.
📌 Main objectives:
Reduce supply, create scarcity for tokens.
Stabilize sentiment, limit price volatility.
Demonstrate long-term trust in the project.
The difference from the previous phase: instead of issuing new tokens as rewards, many projects now use real revenue or treasury funds to buy back tokens, helping to absorb selling pressure and increase value for investors.
📌 Conditions for #Buyback to succeed:
Must rely on sustainable, transparent on-chain operational cash flow.
Tokens after buyback need to be burned, staked, or redistributed to increase value.
If it only inflates using treasury, the buyback program is likely to fail and cause the price to plummet when it stops.
👉 Conclusion: Buyback is not a "magic potion" but only effective when linked to real products, real revenue, and real users. With a scale of nearly 40 million USD/week, this trend is becoming the core capital management strategy of crypto protocols generating real cash flow. #anh_ba_cong
